This essay explores Las Vegas as a stage-set for tourist performance. Initially, I outline Walter Benjamin’s notion of the flaˆneur as a framework for my study before addressing two foci of this paper: (1) the site of Las Vegas as ‘‘omnitopian’’ enclosure and (2) the performance of Las Vegas through post-tourism. Following this analysis, I discuss consequences of inauthentic post-tourist play as imagined by critics of ‘‘mere pleasure.’’
